After Jiang Jingyu finished speaking, she let go of Ji Yanli's hand and turned to look out the window.
Ji Yanli's hand, which had been frozen in mid-air, slowly fell down. He glanced at the back of his hand, his eyes dark and unclear.
Tianyu was not at the headquarters of Ji Group. Ji Yanli first asked the driver to send Jiang Jingyu to Tianyu and then returned to the company.
Except for the director who was rather serious, the crew members of "The Empress of Daye" were all very easy-going. They took the initiative to greet Jiang Jingyu after seeing her.
"Teacher Jiang is here."
"General Zhu has two scenes today, come on!"
Jiang Jingyu nodded with a smile: "Thank you all for your encouragement."
After saying that, she walked into the dressing room and sat in front of the dressing table, letting the makeup artist style her hair.
During this time, Chu Yue sent a message saying that she had something to do today and would be able to come later.
Jiang Jingyu changed her makeup and came in front of the camera. According to her understanding of the character, she acted out the scene where General Zhu asked for orders to go to the border to support his father and brother, and left home overnight for fear that his mother would be sad.
Originally thought to be just a show-off, the crew even specially prepared a prop Trojan horse for her.
But who would have thought that the moment Jiang Jingyu entered the camera, she went straight to the horse that was as tall as a person. She grabbed the reins with one hand and stepped on the stirrup with one foot, turned over and rode on the horse's back. The whole action was done in one go, without any delay!
Everyone in the crew was shocked when they saw this, and even the director had a glint of surprise in his eyes.
After Jiang Jingyu passed the audition yesterday, her assistant sent all her information to the director. The director usually does not pay attention to news in the entertainment industry and is concentrating on the script.
It can be said that yesterday was the first time he learned about Jiang Jingyu.
After seeing the comments about Jiang Jingyu on the Internet, the director did not take it seriously.
Through yesterday's audition, Jiang Jingyu did fit the image of General Zhu, and that's enough. As for what others think of her, the director doesn't care.
He only believes what he sees.
Today's scene is the one where General Zhu leaves home in the middle of the night to go to the frontier. In the past, directors always pursued real guns and bullets when filming, so after confirming the actors, if there are horse riding or fighting scenes in the scene, the director will notify the actors in advance to spend some time learning.
But Jiang Jingyu had just passed the audition yesterday and replaced the previous actor. The director was not sure whether she could ride a horse, so when the crew brought the horse to the studio, he ordered someone to prepare a wooden horse prop.
Jiang Jingyu's smooth movements just now made the director and the crew look at her with admiration.
Jiang Jingyu was wearing armor and sitting astride a horse. She pursed her lips and looked at the mansion in front of her. Even through the camera, one could feel the reluctance, sadness, hesitation and other emotions changing on her face.
In the end, all these emotions turned into determination and resolution.
"Mom, I will definitely come back with my father and brother!"
After saying that, she tightened the reins, turned the horse's head, and slowly rushed towards the darkness ahead.
She had just walked a little way when the tightly closed door behind her opened.
A woman with red eyes walked in tremblingly.
It seemed like a psychological connection between mother and daughter. Jiang Jingyu, who was riding towards the darkness, suddenly tightened the reins and turned her head to look behind her.
At that glance, she saw her haggard mother clinging to the door frame with a sad face, her hand stretched out towards her, her mouth open but no sound coming out.
Jiang Jingyu frowned tightly, tears blurred her vision. She gritted her teeth and squeezed the horse's belly hard.
"drive!"
As the horse galloped forward, hot tears dripped from the corners of Jiang Jingyu's eyes.
The vermilion armor flashed in the night. The delicate girl of Zhu family tied up her long hair for her father and brother. Her beautiful skirt was replaced by hard armor. She traveled across mountains and rivers to the border to fight!
"Card!"
The director's resounding voice echoed in the studio, bringing everyone back to their senses.
They stared at Jiang Jingyu who dismounted and walked towards them, with shock on their faces not concealed at all.
"The entertainment industry's acknowledged queen of bad dramas? A useless figurehead?"
"If this can be called the queen of bad dramas, then I pray that our crew will have a bunch of them!"
"I originally thought it was a desperate decision, but I didn't expect it to be such a great opportunity!"
"Our crew has found a treasure this time!"
The crew members all praised Jiang Jingyu's performance one after another!
The usually serious director gave Jiang Jingyu a thumbs-up and praised her generously, saying, "Well done, keep it up!"
In the end, Jiang Jingyu passed the role in one take thanks to her familiarity with the novel and her professional training.
"Have you read the novel Empress of Daye?"
It was rare for the director to chat with the actors in a friendly manner about topics other than the script.
Jiang Jingyu nodded: "I have seen it, three times."
The director praised: "You have good taste! This time you have stumbled upon the right person!"
Because Jiang Jingyu had read the original novel, the director talked to her about the plot of the novel. He asked Jiang Jingyu for her opinion with a try-it attitude, but he didn't expect that Jiang Jingyu had unique insights on some of the plots.
The director became interested and asked Jiang Jingyu to sit aside and watch while the other actors were rehearsing, chatting with them from time to time. Jiang Jingyu also enjoyed it.
Time unknowingly came to noon, and Chu Yue rushed over after finishing his work.
After seeing her best friend having a good chat with the director, Chu Yue raised her eyebrows and walked behind them with her arms folded.
"I've read this novel too, can you add me?"
Chu Yue bent down and leaned close to Jiang Jingyu's cheek, curling her red lips and joking.
"Yueyue? Why are you here?"
Jiang Jingyu looked at the beauty beside him in surprise.
Chu Yue held up the watch in front of Jiang Jingyu: "Here, I'm here to pick up my dear princess for lunch. I wonder if her highness would do me the honor of meeting you?"
The director looked down at the time and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, I lost track of time while talking. Come on, let's all go. Don't delay your lunch."
The director spoke and the crew members dispersed.
Chu Yue put her arm around Jiang Jingyu's shoulders like a big sister, looking at her with a half-smile: "I was just delayed for the whole morning by something, how come my Yubaby suddenly became so close to the director?"
In the past, Jiang Jingyu always acted like a spoiled brat, acting as she pleased and never communicating with the director.
Now, she can actually see her sitting with the director to discuss the plot, which is something Chu Yue never dared to imagine before.
Jiang Jingyu curled her lips and said, "The director is very dedicated and his insights into the plot are very insightful. I'm very happy to be able to discuss the plot with him."
"Okay, okay, as long as Miss is happy, let's go, there's a new steakhouse nearby, let's go try it, the delicious food will double your happiness!"
Chu Yue took Jiang Jingyu to a newly opened restaurant near the company.
"Oh my god, my ideal type!"
